Set on the second floor of a gated development at the foot of Canary Wharf, this two-bedroom apartment offers generous space (75.7 sq m / 815 sq ft), an open-plan living/dining/kitchen and a private balcony — ideal for first-time buyers seeking a roomy home with easy links to the Jubilee, DLR and Elizabeth Lines. The large master bedroom includes an ensuite, and a second double bedroom gives flexibility for a home office or guests.
Residents benefit from a 24-hour concierge and an allocated parking space in a secure development — conveniences that are uncommon in central locations and add everyday reassurance. The long lease (971 years) is a significant positive for mortgageability and future value retention.
Be aware of the running costs: service charges are £4,300 per year (above average) and ground rent is £200 per year; buildings insurance is approximately £1,250 annually. Council tax is described as expensive. The local area is inner-city and cosmopolitan with a high crime rate recorded in the locality, so buyers should factor security and lifestyle preferences into their decision.
Overall this chain-free apartment suits buyers who prioritise transport links, on-site security and a turn-key living environment, but it carries higher-than-average communal costs and sits in a busy urban neighbourhood where safety and noise should be considered.
